Re: Overflow of FE SMTP email queues, is this normal?

Sorry,
Oddly, I can't find the actual messages. I'm looking in D:\Program
Files\Exchsrvr\Mailroot\vsi 1\Queue and the directory is empty. The
Badmail and the Pickup folders are also empty. I'm fairly certain this
is the right spot to be looking, but those folders are always empty...
There is also a VS2 folder, with the same subs, but I created it long
ago when I had a lockup issue and we were creating a new SMTP Virtual
server. It's subs are also empty, so no luck their either.
When I pull up message properties using "Find now" on one of the queues
I get the following:
message id:
<B0C5425C8B8B2344BD4AEA7812BA8C7614C933E6@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
Sender:
Subject: <Subject is hidden>
Priority: Normal
Size 12,265
Number of body recipients: N/A
Recipients: Envelope Recipients: SMTP:ijgykueueh@xxxxxxxxxxxxx;
Time of submission: 2/6/2006 1:13 AM
Time received by server: 2/6/2006 1:13 AM
Time expires: 2/6/2006 1:58 AM
Delivery Failures: 3
Status: Retry
There are slight differences in the times received and the expiration
times and message sizes, but all of them seem to contain randomly made
up recipients, and there is no data in the sender field. For some
reason (silly me...) I thought that if I turned on sender filtering and
checked the "Filter messages with blank sender" box, and the "Drop
connection if address matches filter" box, the messages with a blank
sender wouldn't ever get stuck in my queues because they would be
dropped. I am also assuming that the messages I'm seeing in my queues
are NDR's being sent from our organization to non-existent recipients @
non-existent domains.
As an update, I turned off "Allow non-delivery reports" and stopped and
restarted the Virtual SMTP server and the 1800 queues are now gone...
I still have 4 outbound mail queues with one or two messages in each,
(same message scenario with blank sender as described above) but the
majority have disappeared. Also, the queues directory on the hard
drive is still empty...
The main question/concern with the entire deal is, my FE server
shouldn't (in my opinion) have any outgoing mail at all. Is there any
way I can find out the origination of the outgoing mail so I can stop
it?
